The Phillies made the move to promote outfielder Roman Quinn from the AAA Lehigh Valley IronPigs in late July. It was the culmination of a long road back for the former organizational top five prospect.
Quinn has a long history of injuries which have slowed his progression to the big leagues. In 2013 it was a fractured wrist after being hit by a pitch. Following that season, Quinn tore his Achilles tendon while working out and missed the start of the 2014 campaign.
A strained muscle in his side early in the summer of 2016 slowed his conversion from his original shortstop position to center field.
